Tutorial of Optical Splitter Loss Test
Whether an optical splitter is combining signals in the upstream direction or dividing signals in the downstream direction, it still introduces the same attenuation to an optical input signal.

How to Calculate Splitter Loss in Optical Fiber
One of the most valuable uses of optical splitters is to determine splitter loss. This loss occurs because the signal level decreases as the signal is divided into two or more outputs.
